Overview

The four gospels appear to have been constructed from 11 or 12 smaller books.
At the end of each of these smaller books the gospel jumps back in time to the beginning of the next small book.
What's especially interesting is that each of these smaller books ends exactly 2 months after the previous book ended.
Each stripe is 30 daysPurge

16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
generations; and from David until the carrying away into
Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away
into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Gabriel and Zacharias

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain
priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife
was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and
they both were now well stricken in years.

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office before God in the order of his course,

9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to
burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at
the time of incense.

11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
the right side of the altar of incense.

12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
upon him.

13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy
prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,
and thou shalt call his name John.

14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
at his birth.

15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled
with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.

16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
their God.

17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.

18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
and to shew thee these glad tidings.

20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
tarried so long in the temple.

22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he
beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
herself five months, saying,

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
on me, to take away my reproach among men.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Gabriel and Mary

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast
in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favour with God.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father
David:

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall be no end.

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.

36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who
was called barren.

37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.

39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation
of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled
with the Holy Ghost:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me?

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy
is his name.

50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
generation.

51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the
proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them
of low degree.

53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he
hath sent empty away.

54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy;

55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
ever.

56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Birth of John

57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a son.

58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the
name of his father.

60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be
called John.

61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is
called by this name.

62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
called.

63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
is John. And they marvelled all.

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
and he spake, and praised God.

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill
country of Judaea.

66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts,
saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of
the Lord was with him.

67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying,

68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of
his servant David;

70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
since the world began:

71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of
all that hate us;

72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;

73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
life.

76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways;

77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
remission of their sins,

78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us,

79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was
no room for them in the inn.

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
be born.

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
written by the prophet,

6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least
among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a
Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him,
bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
joy.

11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto
him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.

13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him.

14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt:

15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son.

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of
the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of
the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to
present him to the Lord;

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that
openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young
pigeons.

Simeon

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the
consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the
custom of the law,

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel.

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were
spoken of him.

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of
many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that
the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

Anna

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity;

37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the
Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
in Jerusalem.

16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from
two years old and under, according to the time which he had
diligently enquired of the wise men.

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet, saying,

18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and
great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not
be comforted, because they are not.

19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go
into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the
young child's life.

21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
came into the land of Israel.

22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the
room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither:
notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee:

23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be
called a Nazarene.

39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of
the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city
Nazareth.

40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the
child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a
day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
and answers.

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said
unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy
father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
not that I must be about my Father's business?

50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was
subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in
her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
God and man.

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of
whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ.

18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which
is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the
Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I
am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an
answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John
was baptizing.

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of Judaea,

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and
wild honey.

5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
region round about Jordan,

6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones
to raise up children unto Abraham.

10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire:

12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.

5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they
of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of
Jordan, confessing their sins.

6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a
skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after
me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down
and unloose.

8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost.

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being
tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of
Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the
tetrarch of Abilene,

2Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill
shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?

8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.

9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every
tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.

10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let
him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let
him do likewise.

12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
Master, what shall we do?

13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.

14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,
neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with
water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost and with fire:

17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
people.

19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done,

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world.

30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me: for he was before me.

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which
baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me?

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him.

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of
the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens
opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art
my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb
of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
Jesus.

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to
say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth
hour.

40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We
have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the
Christ.

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungred.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God.

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge
concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and
the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.

13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of
Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered
unto him.

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he
did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
hungered.

3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that it be made bread.

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee,
and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it.

7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence:

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee:

11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God.

13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
from him for a season.

43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found
him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write,
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out
of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee,
when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
of God; thou art the King of Israel.

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I
saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see
greater things than these.

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

12 Now when Jesus had heard that John gave up, he
departed into Galilee;

14 Now after John gave up, Jesus came into
Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as

his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet
Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place
where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears.

22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words
which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard
done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
his own country.

25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the
days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six
months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
Syrian.

28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath,

29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto
the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they
might cast him down headlong.

30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

19 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Beatitudes

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn again and rend you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the
fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
scribes.

Sermon on the Plain

12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a
mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of
them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
called Zelotes,

16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
was the traitor.

17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the
company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out
of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre
and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases;

18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went
virtue out of him, and healed them all.

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and
cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your
reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
consolation.

25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
their fathers to the false prophets.

27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
them which hate you,

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you.

29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the
other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also.

30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
away thy goods ask them not again.

31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise.

32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also love those that love them.

33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank
have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much
again.

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for
nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be
the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again.

39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is
perfect shall be as his master.

41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull
out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest
not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast
out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do
not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for
of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
say?

47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and
laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the
stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake
it: for it was founded upon a rock.

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without
a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the
stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the
ruin of that house was great.

46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

1When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
followed him.

2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy
way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him
a centurion, beseeching him,

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only,
and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and
I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and
he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou
hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was
healed in the selfsame hour.

1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the
people, he entered into Capernaum.

2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to die.

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the
Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from
the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him,
Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou
shouldest enter under my roof:

7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and
he doeth it.

9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned
him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
arose, and ministered unto them.

29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they
entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and
John.

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they
tell him of her.

31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and
immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever;
and they besought him for her.

39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
him, saying, Thy son liveth.

52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And
they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him.

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and
his whole house.

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judaea into Galilee.

16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were
possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his
word, and healed all that were sick:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all
that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast
out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because
they knew him.

40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with
divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands
on every one of them, and healed them.

41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou
art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them
not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
servant whole that had been sick.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to Passover.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

Nicodemus

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.

43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

44 And he preached in the synagogues of Judea (some say Galilee)

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city
called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much
people.

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there
was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not.

14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath
visited his people.

17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
throughout all the region round about.

note: this actually occurs later in the Gospel of Matthew but it doesnt warrent creating an entire column just for it so I am putting it here instead

2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

reed shaken with the wind

7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

reed shaken with the wind

24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to
speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and
live delicately, are in kings' courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there
is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is
least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
this generation? and to what are they like?

32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and
calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you,
and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have
not wept.

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold
a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners!

35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

children in the markets

16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

41 And many more believed because of his own word;

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash
his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her
head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake
within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would
have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth
him: for she is a sinner.

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave
most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou
this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no
water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and
wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came
in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath
anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
the same loveth little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
peace.

John

Matthew

Luke

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Seek a sign/Sign of Jonah

38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

Sower

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Sower

3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Sower

5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Why parables

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

mystery of the kingdom

10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

mystery of the kingdom

9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Explanation of the sower

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Explanation of the sower

13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14 The sower soweth the word.

15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Explanation of the sower

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

candle under a bushel

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

measure ye mete

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Good seed

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

cast seed into the ground

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

mustard seed

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

mustard seed

30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

leaven

33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Explanation of the tares

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

treasure hid in a field

44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

pearl of great price

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Net cast into the sea

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the
country of the Gadarenes

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met
him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind
him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains,
and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the
fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the
tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by
God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean
spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying,
My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out
of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of
swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits
went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about
two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and
in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was
done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with
the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was
possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is
over against Galilee

27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city
a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no
clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and
with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus,
thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the
man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound
with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was
driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
into the deep.

32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to
enter into them. And he suffered them.

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the
swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the
lake, and were choked.

34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went
and told it in the city and in the country.

35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed,
sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind:
and they were afraid.

36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils was healed.

37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round
about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken
with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned
back again.

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed
with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to
thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great
things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him
that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath
done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city

2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other
side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the
sea.

17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that
there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which
were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a
palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him
before him.

19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him
in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and
let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst
before Jesus.

20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
are forgiven thee.

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
God alone?

22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Rise up and walk?

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth
to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine
house.

25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican,
named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto
him, Follow me.

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there
was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down
with them.

30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
sinners?

31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need
not a physician; but they that are sick.

32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast
often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the
Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece
of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new
maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new
agreeth not with the old.

37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new
wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles
shall perish.

38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.

39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
for he saith, The old is better.

18While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler
of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and
besought him that he would come into his house:

42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and
she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed
of any,

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue of blood stanched.

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and
they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng
thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me.

47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came
trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him
before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and
how she was healed immediately.

48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
hath made thee whole; go in peace.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead:
why troublest thou the Master any further?

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto
the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James,
and John the brother of James.

38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and
seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this
ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all
out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and
them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was
lying.

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,
arise.

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of
the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
astonishment.

43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and
commanded that something should be given her to eat.

49While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the Master.

50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she shall be made whole.

51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother
of the maiden.

52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
not dead, but sleepeth.

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise.

55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
commanded to give her meat.

56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they
should tell no man what was done.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin

20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

revealed unto babes

25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is
called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and
troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease
he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long
time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the
water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am
coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Paralytic

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not
only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that
himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment
unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the
Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father
which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because
he is the Son of man.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the
will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say,
that ye might be saved.

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for
a season to rejoice in his light.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works
which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that
I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness
of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
his shape.

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he
wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?

9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief.

6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16 And charged them that they should not make him known:

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

32As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

Kingdom divided

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of demons.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when
ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of
your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that
city.

16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye
shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what
ye shall speak.

20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.

21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against their
parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved.

23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord.

25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his
household?

26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it.

40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me.

41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous
man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man's reward.

42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;

17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them
forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean
spirits;

8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their
journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in
their purse:

9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an
house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye
depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be
more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
than for that city.

12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that
were sick, and healed them.

1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
sick.

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two
small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much
grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that
were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they
would.

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve
baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which
remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did,
said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into
the world.

30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast
them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the
blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them
away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they
said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks,
and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples
to the multitude.

37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
children.

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the
multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
themselves victuals.

16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
to eat.

17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
fishes.

18 He said, Bring them hither to me.

19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to
heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
women and children.

20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran
afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came
together unto him.

34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved
with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto
him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far
passed:

36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about,
and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have
nothing to eat.

37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they
say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of
bread, and give them to eat?

38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And
when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon
the green grass.

40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he
looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and
gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two
fishes divided he among them all.

42 And they did all eat, and were filled.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of
the fishes.

44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand
men.

45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the
ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while
he sent away the people.

1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and
healed them that had need of healing.

12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and
said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into
the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get
victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We
have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should
go and buy meat for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking
up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the
disciples to set before the multitude.

17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take
him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.

16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the
sea,

17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to
them.

18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
unto the ship: and they were afraid.

20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent
the multitudes away.

23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a
mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was
there alone.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves: for the wind was contrary.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
pray.

47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
and he alone on the land.

48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary
unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh
unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by
them.

49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out:

50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he
talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is
I; be not afraid.

51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased:
and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and
wondered.

52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their
heart was hardened.

22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other
side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save
that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus
went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his
disciples were gone away alone;

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the
place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given
thanks:)

39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into
the coasts of Magdala.

34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent
out into all that country round about, and brought unto him
all that were diseased;

36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew
him,

55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to
carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he
was.

56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him
that they might touch if it were but the border of his
garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and
came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

Manna/Bread of life

24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye
did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man
shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work
the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then,
that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father
giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
giveth life unto the world.

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise
it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
which came down from heaven.

42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
came down from heaven?

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of
the Father, cometh unto me.

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
God, he hath seen the Father.

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
everlasting life.

48 I am that bread of life.

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
may eat thereof, and not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that
I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father:
so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
bread shall live for ever.

59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
Capernaum.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,
he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
before?

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew
from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who
should betray him.

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
more with him.

11And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
forgotten to take bread.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
have taken no bread.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little
faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought
no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of
the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?

11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of
the Sadducees.

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
understand:

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
parable.

16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the man.

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do
ye not remember?

19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many
baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him,
Twelve.

20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full
of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto
him, and besought him to touch him.

23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the
town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon
him, he asked him if he saw ought.

24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him
look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
town, nor tell it to any in the town.

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
hast the words of eternal life.

69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
of the living God.

70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of
you is a devil?

71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was
that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am?

14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some,
Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.

19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.

20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus the Christ.

21From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples,
how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and
be raised again the third day.

22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things
that be of God, but those that be of men.

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange
for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with
his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to
his works.

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
and Sidon.

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son
of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
made whole from that very hour.

24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre
and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man
know it: but he could not be hid.

25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean
spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she
besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her
daughter.

27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for
it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it
unto the dogs.

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs
under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is
gone out of thy daughter.

30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone
out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of
Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others, One of the prophets.

29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
again.

32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began
to rebuke him.

33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that
be of men.

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same
shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the
Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.

18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people
that I am?

19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of God.

21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no
man that thing;

22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
slain, and be raised the third day.

23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him
shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own
glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be
some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for
us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
Elias.

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
were sore afraid.

7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid.

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be
risen again from the dead.

2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and
John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by
themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as
no fuller on earth can white them.

4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were
talking with Jesus.

5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for
us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for
thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no
man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that
they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the
Son of man were risen from the dead.

10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one
with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,
he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain
to pray.

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white and glistering.

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
and Elias:

31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men
that stood with him.

33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said
unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us
make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and
one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my
beloved Son: hear him.

36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they
kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those
things which they had seen.

10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come?

11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.

12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew
him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.

11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias
must first come?

12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and
restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man,
that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have
done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the
water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure
him.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
suffer you? bring him hither to me.

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and
the child was cured from that very hour.

31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he
came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts
of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an
impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand
upon him.

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers
into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his
tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more
he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published
it;

37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all
things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speak.

14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude
about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were
greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have
brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth,
and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to
thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could
not.

19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
unto me.

20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground,
and wallowed foaming.

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came
unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the
waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have
compassion on us, and help us.

23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said
with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf
spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into
him.

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him:
and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he
arose.

37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come
down from the hill, much people met him.

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and
it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly
departeth from him.

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
not.

41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son
hither.

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the
child, and delivered him again to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while
they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said
unto his disciples,

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,
but by prayer and fasting.

Middle2

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
again. And they were exceeding sorry.

30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he
would not that any man should know it.

31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of
man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill
him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask
him.

44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them,
that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that
saying.

24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
pay tribute?

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do
the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own
children, or of strangers?

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
are the children free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the
sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh
up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a
piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked
them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the
way?

34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed
among themselves, who should be the greatest.

1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
cometh!

8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off,
and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into
life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet
to be cast into everlasting fire.

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye,
rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I
say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the
face of my Father which is in heaven.

11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and
goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
astray?

13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish.

42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that
believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for
thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
shall be salted with salt.

50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have
peace one with another.

Forgive 70*7

15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and
tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall
hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established.

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as
an heathen man and a publican.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and
the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
and ye do dishonour me.

50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never see death.

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a
devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If
a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is
your God:

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I
know him, and keep his saying.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and
was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
and hast thou seen Abraham?

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst
of them, and so passed by.

blind from his birth

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his
birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this
man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay
of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with
the clay,

7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is
by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and
washed, and came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him
that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,
and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of
Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received
his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and
I washed, and do see.

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,
because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a
man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a
division among them.

17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been
blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents
of him that had received his sight.

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
born blind? how then doth he now see?

20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our
son, and that he was born blind:

21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall
speak for himself.

22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess
that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto
him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know
not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
he thine eyes?

27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not
hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his
disciples?

28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
are Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know
not from whence he is.

30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a
marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet
he hath opened mine eyes.

31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
eyes of one that was born blind.

33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
him?

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
that talketh with thee.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Good shepherd

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the
same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not
what things they were which he spake unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the
sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth
the sheep.

13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also
I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be
one fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father.

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
sayings.

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
ye him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil.
Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

Solomon's porch

22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How
long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell
us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of
God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that
ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in
him.

39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand,

40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.

41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
all things that John spake of this man were true.

42 And many believed on him there.

1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of
Judaea beyond Jordan;

2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him
again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying
unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for
every cause?

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery.

2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for
a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
you?

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement,
and to put her away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of
your heart he wrote you this precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more
twain, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.

10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given.

12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their
mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made
eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that
is able to receive it, let him receive it.

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one
running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is
none good but one, that is, God.

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
Honour thy father and mother.

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
observed from my youth.

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and
give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come, take up the cross, and follow me.

22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he
had great possessions.

23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom
of God!

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it
for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of
God!

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among
themselves, Who then can be saved?

27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible,
but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall
I do to inherit eternal life?

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy
father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet
lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and
distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very
rich.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of
God!

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are
possible with God.

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and
have followed thee.

29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is
no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
sake, and the gospel's,

30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal
life.

31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man
that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or
children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and
in the world to come life everlasting.

labourers in the vineyard

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an
householder, which went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard.

3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace,

4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
likewise.

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the
day idle?

7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right,
that shall ye receive.

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
beginning from the last unto the first.

9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny.

10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
goodman of the house,

12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast
made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat
of the day.

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
last, even as unto thee.

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
called, but few chosen.

17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
apart in the way, and said unto them,

18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they
shall condemn him to death,

19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they
were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell
them what things should happen unto him,

33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the
scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall
deliver him to the Gentiles:

34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit
upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise
again.

31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold,
we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the
prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be
mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the
third day he shall rise again.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was
hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

20 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,
Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able.

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my
Father.

35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,
saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us
whatsoever we shall desire.

36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy
right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye
drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?

39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye
shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the
baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to
give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren.

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
that are great exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, let him be your minister;

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
servant:

28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased
with James and John.

42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know
that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise
authority upon them.

43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great
among you, shall be your minister:

44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of
all.

45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves.

56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as
they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
to the feast?

57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should
shew it, that they might take him.

29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
him.

30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
us, O Lord, thou son of David.

31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O
Lord, thou son of David.

32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
that I shall do unto you?

33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with
his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus,
the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he
cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on
me.

49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And
they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort,
rise; he calleth thee.

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I
should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I
might receive my sight.

52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed
Jesus in the way.

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on
me.

39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold
his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David,
have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and
when he was come near, he asked him,

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said,
Lord, that I may receive my sight.

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him,
glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave
praise unto God.

1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.

2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
was one of them that sat at the table with him.

3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly,
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her
hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
which should betray him,

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor?

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he
was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
hath she kept this.

8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.

9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and
they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see
Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
also to death;

11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and
believed on Jesus.

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the
press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see
him: for he was to pass that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,
and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for
to day I must abide at thy house.

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was
gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any
thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him
fourfold.

9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable,
because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought
that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,
saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having
received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might
know how much every man had gained by trading.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he
had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said
unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments
upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to
rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the
Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto
him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over
it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy
day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are
hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall
cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep
thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children
within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and
when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was
hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it,
he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
of Galilee.

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats
of them that sold doves;

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel
through the temple.

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house
shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye
have made it a den of thieves.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that
sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and
saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore
displeased,

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of
babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how
they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the
people was astonished at his doctrine.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and
the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.

17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
he lodged there.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let
no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the
fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If
ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which
is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it
shall be done.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against
any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you
your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in
heaven forgive your trespasses.

23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and
said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority?

24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
what authority I do these things.

25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
him?

26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
John as a prophet.

27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said
unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.

27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the
temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders,

28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you
one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what
authority I do these things.

30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all
men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what
authority I do these things.

1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught
the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief
priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one
thing; and answer me:

4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for
they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things.

28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to
the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
and went.

30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not.

31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say
unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto
you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of
God before you.

32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed
him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that
ye might believe him.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a
winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country:

34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.

36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them likewise.

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son.

38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let
us seize on his inheritance.

39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him.

40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
do unto those husbandmen?

41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man
planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a
place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country.

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he
might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard.

3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they
cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away
shamefully handled.

5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many
others; beating some, and killing some.

6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him
also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;
come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the
vineyard.

9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come
and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto
others.

9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain
man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and
went into a far country for a long time.

10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that
they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the
husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and
entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast
him out.

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will
send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when
they see him.

14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among
themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him,
that the inheritance may be ours.

15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the
vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God
forbid.

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
marvellous in our eyes?

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the
builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for
they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and
they left him, and went their way.

17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is
written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner?

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to
lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they
perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Marriage banquet

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made
a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the
marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the
wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how

ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
entangle him in his talk.

Greeks

20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
worship at the feast:

21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
Son of man should be glorified.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit.

25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there
shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
Father honour.

27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me
from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
but for your sakes.

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
this world be cast out.

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me.

33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that
Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light
with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come
upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither
he goeth.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the
children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and
did hide himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
believed not on him:

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to
whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their
heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of
him.

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
they should be put out of the synagogue:

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
on me, but on him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should
speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.

16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou
regardest not the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?

21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
God the things that are God's.

22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
and went their way.

13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
Herodians, to catch him in his words.

14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know
that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest
not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth:
Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their
hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
that I may see it.

16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this
image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are
God's. And they marvelled at him.

20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign
themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words,
that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of
the governor.

21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest
and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of
any, but teachest the way of God truly:

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
tempt ye me?

25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people:
and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother.

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he
had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his
wife unto his brother:

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
doctrine.

18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave
his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and
dying left no seed.

21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed:
and the third likewise.

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman
died also.

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose
wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,
because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in
heaven.

26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in
the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob?

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
therefore do greatly err.

27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that
there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die,
having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a
wife, and died without children.

30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and
they left no children, and died.

32 Last of all the woman died also.

33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for
seven had her to wife.

34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage:

35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,
and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are
given in marriage:

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the
angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection.

37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all
live unto him.

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked
him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than
all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto
him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man
after that durst ask him any question.

39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast
well said.

40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David.

43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
Lord, saying,

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
make thine enemies thy footstool?

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool.

37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he
then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's
son?

42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
not.

4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.

38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes,
which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the
marketplaces,

39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms
at feasts:

40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
disciples,

46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and
love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers:
the same shall receive greater damnation.

Woes

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go
in.

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves.

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear
by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
by all things thereon.

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
him that dwelleth therein.

22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within
they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell?

34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some
of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the
people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich
cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two
mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in,
than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her
want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts
into the treasury.

2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two
mites.

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow
hath cast in more than they all:

4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the
offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the
living that she had.

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily
I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
(whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.

1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith
unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings
are here!

2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great
buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the
temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him
privately,

4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man
deceive you:

6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not
troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not
be yet.

8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and
there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings
of sorrows.

9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye
shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them.

10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no
thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,
that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy
Ghost.

12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the
father the son; and children shall rise up against their
parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him
that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee
to the mountains:

15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the
house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his
house:

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to
take up his garment.

17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give
suck in those days!

18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from
the beginning of the creation which God created unto this
time, neither shall be.

20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh
should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
chosen, he hath shortened the days.

21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or,
lo, he is there; believe him not:

22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall
shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even
the elect.

23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken.

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
with great power and glory.

27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together
his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the
earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts, he said,

6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in
the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these
things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall
come to pass?

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth
near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not
terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the
end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's
sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before
what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be
put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not
them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the
land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of man.

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in
what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh
not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at
night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the
mount of Olives.

38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
temple, for to hear him.

10 Virgins

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and
buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that
were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was
shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.

Talents

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability;
and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord's money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents
more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord,
I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast
not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful
servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and
gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine
own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even
that which he hath.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

sheep from the goats

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his
sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and
ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was
in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed
me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,
or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did
it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
sayings, he said unto his disciples,

2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas,

4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill
him.

5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
among the people.

1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of
unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought
how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
of the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at
meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,
To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to
the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
always.

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did
it for my burial.

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this
woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he
sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of
ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box,
and poured it on his head.

4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence,
and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against
her.

6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath
wrought a good work on me.

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will
ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint
my body to the burying.

9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath
done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the
chief priests,

15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver
him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces
of silver.

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief
priests, to betray him unto them.

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give
him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

Luke

17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that
we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him,
The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover
at thy house with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
made ready the passover.

12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the
passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we
go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto
them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man
bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the
house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with my disciples?

15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and
prepared: there make ready for us.

16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and
found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
passover.

7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must
be killed.

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
passover, that we may eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat
the passover with my disciples?

12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make
ready.

13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.

Feet washing

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the
Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved
them unto the end.

2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
he was girded.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
else believe me for the very works' sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know
him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see
me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

How manifest to us and not the world

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how will you
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I
go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe.

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the
Father gave me commandment, even so I do.

Arise, let us go hence (to Gethsemane?)

You cannot bear fruit without me

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and
every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may
bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye
abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and
I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me
ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire,
and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye
in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as
I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain
in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth
not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for
all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known
unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your
fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it
hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not
greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will
keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man
did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and
hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that
is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from
the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from
the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me
from the beginning.

Spirit of truth

1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not
known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall
come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these
things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was
with you.

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
will asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
filled your heart.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

A little while

17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this
that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see
me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,
Because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said
unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A
little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me?

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament,
but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but
your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour
is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
into the world.

22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from
you.

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he
will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I
shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you,
that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me,
and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and
scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword,
let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be
accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the
transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said
unto them, It is enough.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly,
and speakest no proverb.

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not
that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou
camest forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be
scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and
yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.

lifted up his eyes to heaven

1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and
said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son
also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me
out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given
me are of thee.

8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and
they have received them, and have known surely that I came out
from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which
thou hast given me; for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified
in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,
and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name
those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
are.

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is
lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world,
that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but
that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be
sanctified through the truth.

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of
the world.

25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and
I in them.

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the
which he entered, and his disciples.

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray
yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went
backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus
of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye
seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them
which thou gavest me have I lost none.

47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from
the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
kissed him.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead
him away safely.

45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and
saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
with a kiss?

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high
priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's
name was Malchus.

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:
the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest's, and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the
sword.

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
must be?

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come
out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.

56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and
fled.

47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they
said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut
off his right ear.

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the
temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come
out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no
hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.

51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen
cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold
on him:

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took
Jesus, and bound him,

13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to
Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it
was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple:
that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with
Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other
disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto
her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not
thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire
of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and
Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
doctrine.

20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught
in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always
resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
unto them: behold, they know what I said.

22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood
by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest
thou the high priest so?

23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the
evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.

58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
scribes.

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the
high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself
at the fire.

55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness
agreed not together.

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high
priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
saying,

58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with
hands, and within three days I will build another made without
hands.

59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell
us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
ye have heard his blasphemy.

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others
smote him with the palms of their hands,

68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote
thee?

60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
against thee?

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high
priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we
any further witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
condemned him to be guilty of death.

65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants
did strike him with the palms of their hands.

25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore
unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied
it, and said, I am not.

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman
whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the
garden with him?

27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou
sayest.

71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him,
and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with
Jesus of Nazareth.

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said
to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech
bewrayeth thee.

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the
man. And immediately the cock crew.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went
out, and wept bitterly.

66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of
the maids of the high priest:

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,
and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what
thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock
crew.

69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood
by, This is one of them.

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by
said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art
a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this
man of whom ye speak.

72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he
wept.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and
were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and
earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with
him.

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art
also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently
affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him:
for he is a Galilaean.

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the
face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee?

65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council,

66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the
chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into
their council, saying,

67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell
you, ye will not believe:

68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the
power of God.

70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said
unto them, Ye say that I am.

71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we
ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate.
.

3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
departed, and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is
not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is
the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
me.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation
bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor,
we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is
not lawful for us to put any man to death:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
signifying what death he should die.

2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow
perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to
Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King

33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called
Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did
others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom
were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I
should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not
from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should
bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said
unto him, Thou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly.

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
answered nothing.

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee.

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I
find no fault in this man.

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the
people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee
to this place.

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a
Galilaean.

7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was
desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard
many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle
done by him.

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him
nothing.

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused
him.

11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked
him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to
Pilate.

12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:
for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and
the rulers and the people,

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him
before you, have found no fault in this man touching those
things whereof ye accuse him:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
worthy of death is done unto him.

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said
this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I
find in him no fault at all.

39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at
the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the
King of the Jews?

40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas.
Now Barabbas was a robber.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto
them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus
which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto
him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I
have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that
they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain
will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather
a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before
the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just
person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
and on our children.

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them
that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in the insurrection.

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the
Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man,
and release unto us Barabbas:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder,
was cast into prison.)

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to
them.

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he
done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore
chastise him, and let him go.

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he
might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed.

1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his
head, and they put on him a purple robe,

3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
their hands.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon
his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the
knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the
Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on
the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to
crucify him.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was
cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered
Jesus to their will.

4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
no fault in him.

5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid;

9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest
thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
release thee?

11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
except it were given thee from above: therefore he that
delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not
Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh
against Caesar.

13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
called the Pavement even though according to Hebrew gabbatha (cf גָּבַהּ, גֵּו and ἄγω) it was the day of παρα-shekar (hyper-drunkeness) of the passover, and about the
sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And
they took Jesus, and led him away/

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the
cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and
to the hills, Cover us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be
done in the dry?

17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the
place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the midst.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is
to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he
had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did
they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not.

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be
put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where
Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written
in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not,
The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE
KING OF THE JEWS.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
numbered with the transgressors.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest
it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that
we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him
reviled him.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it
in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come
down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of
Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will
believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same
in his teeth.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if
he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise.

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the
top throughout.

24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but
cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might
be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them,
and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore
the soldiers did.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
Magdalene.

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on
a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
whether Elias will come to take him down.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 And the Helios became Skotos, and the veil of the temple was rent
in the midst.

In rigorous Mayan language, Heli Lamah Zabac Tani signifies: “Now, I immerse within Him, before the dawning of his presence.”

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks
rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom.

46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he
gave up the ghost.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done,
they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that
he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this
man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
and Salome;

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with
him unto Jerusalem.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding
the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,
(for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that
their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and
of the other which was crucified with him.

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs:

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.

35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom
they pierced.

38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that
he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him
leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to
Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about an hundred pound weight.

40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
laid.

42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the
rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
against the sepulchre.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also
waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto
him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while
dead.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him
in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out
of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.

50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and
he was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;)
he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God.

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid.

54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was
yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the
third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him
away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
the last error shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it
as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
and setting a watch.

1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it
was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulchre.

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of
the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the
stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead
men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from
the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there
shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that
they might come and anoint him.

2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they
came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:
for it was very great.

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they
had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the
earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the
dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
to the sepulchre.

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun
Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes
lying; yet went he not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping
down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she
wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,
and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not
where they have laid him.

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting
on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted.

6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him.

7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said
unto you.

8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for
they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to
any man; for they were afraid.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw
Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
laid him, and I will take him away.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast
seven devils.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they
mourned and wept.

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been
seen of her, believed not.

12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
they walked, and went into the country.

13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed
they them.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since
these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they
had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was
alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw
not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto
them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he
made as though he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished
out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to
us the scriptures?

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his
side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and
upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they believed not them which had seen him after he was
risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover.

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with
them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they
had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand
the scriptures,

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
power from on high.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27 Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book:

31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all thatJesus began both to do and teach,

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he throughthe Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whomhe had chosen:

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by manyinfallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speakingof the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them thatthey should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for thepromise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptizedwith the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdomto Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times orthe seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is comeupon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost partof the earth.

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he wastaken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go
into heaven.

12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of
Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and
supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus,
and with his brethren.

Barsabas and Matthias

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the
disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about
an hundred and twenty,)

16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
Jesus.

17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry.

18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all
his bowels gushed out.

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch
as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that
is to say, The field of blood.

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let
another take.

21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he
was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.

23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
place.

26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak
in his own language.

1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples
at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and
two other of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto
him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a
ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It
is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and
did cast himself into the sea.

8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
dragging the net with fishes.

9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught.

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty and three (153 = קנאב): and for all there were
so many, yet was not the net broken.

12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.

13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end
of the world. Amen.

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third
time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest
all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
him, Feed my sheep.
